Why not be able to run fast. But I wouldn't make a worgen lock regardless. All we're gonna see in BG is Alliance Characters and their Worgen alts...

Also I heard racials were getting changed too so we'll see how it turns out.

Well alliance are dumb so it doesn't matter if Worgen are good for Warlocks.....

But if i was just judging the racial ability then I would say that they have a bonus to PvP and PvE, the 1% dmg is always nice as a raid lock, and the sprint will help in keeping distance in PvP as Affliction.

As for Destro and Demo locks I dont see the PvP bonus as being as good since you sit still to do most your damage and the aided distance is less of a bonus cause you gotta turn around and stand still to cast.

My hope is that Goblin Warlocks will be able to ride there demons......

You must get owned alot by alliance to make you say something so absurd >.>

Worgen locks... what a joke. I'm sure 1% damage increase and a sprint sounds nice, but it only works to your advantage if you can setup your nuke casts as Destro and Demonology in pvp is just.. sad. So I don't really see why someone would make a worgen warlock over a gnome warlock. Escape Artist is more valuable than all the worgen's racials to me.

Compared to the goblin racials, worgens got the short end of the stick. A sprint and damage racial don't really mean much when a goblin warlock can blink/shoot a rocket at you and cast faster. Destro locks already nuke for loads of damage. 1% just seems more like a joke. You nuke for 8k, that isn't big enough increase in damage to really matter. So the racial is useless and more for show IMO. If they really wanted to give alliance a racial that actually did something to the worgen race, they would have made it like 5% or some noticeable and useful amount. 1% just doesn't really amount to a whole lot, either in PvE or PvP.

My friend is going to change his NE Huntard into a worgen just because of the 1% damage increase. I told him his an idiot cause he has no idea what will happen from now and until expansion goes live.

So right now as it stands, worgen doesn't impress me much. A werewolf looking character sounds cool, but if the racials blow then then race blows. Their best racial is 15% reduced duration on curses and diseases. Not really all that big of a deal against Destro locks, unless they use Curse of Elements, but it certainly is nice against DKs.

So worgen warlocks? I'll pass. All other options look much more enticing than this choice. I rather pass on worgens all together. I just don't like their racials all that much.

I agree that 1% does seem rather sad. 5% seems a bit too much so id say that 2-4% should be the avg dmg bonus they get to become viable. If more Alliance make worgen locks just for looks then it'll make pvping easier for me as a Horde member.

Trolls can't be Warlocks.

Unfortunately.

As for Worgen Warlocks, other than for aesthetics I can't see them being terribly desired as warlocks. Their racials DO make for (presumably) successful Warlock-killers, given the reduction of Curse duration and Darkflight to close in and shred them to bits. Worgen Rogues may very well make Warlocks obsolete.
